well if i used a tourch it would of been cut up in a day i would say dont use an angle gringer with a cut off disk will take too long but then it would have also helped if i have more time to work on it only the weekends dont work they are too short but it does help when it is in your driveway ive moved it three times the 2nd time cost me too much two tow trucks first one got stuck too many times with my truck on it with no front end the last time just for a flat bed

Thats as tall as you're going to make it?

Cut the fenders and it will look better, I plan to cut mine and run 35's.

The front hangers need some bracing in the worst way. That square tubing that you're using for a 'spacer' is in its weakest orientation.

As for caster, I like to run 7-10°, but you might be able to get way with as little as 4-5°. Anything more than 10° and you can get some pretty serious 'jacking' which will require additional steering force to turn the tires.

i went with leafs just because it was easyer with a 99 ranger because there are no coil buckets. also it is alittle easyer for me because this is my first time doing a sas
